Processor comparisons 17-03-2021

   For example you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a decision by looking at the AMD Ryzen 5 3450U vs AMD Ryzen 3 3200G tests and understand which is better for games or normal use for streaming, rendering, video editing, programming, machine learning. Here is useful information from several benchmarks or real video editing and streaming tests. A careful review of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to understand, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in special testing software like SuperPi, PassMark, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Blender, Handbrake, 7zip, Dolphin Emulator, GeekBench 6, 5.2, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), Blender, AIDA64, Gears 5, UserBenchmark, Furmark, Prime95, PCMark 10, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, 3DMark, VeraCrypt, WPrime, RealBench, MATLAB.

For the maximum in this test, the results of the most powerful processor in the site database are taken. And it is clear that this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a little game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers participating in the comparing not only were the equipped with different video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 4K, 2K or FullHD. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.

To make a finishing decision on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Ryzen 5 3450U is more energy efficient than the Ryzen 3 3200G since it has less power consumption: 15W vs. 65W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, it will be useful to know its TDP. It is necessary to calculate so that the TDP data specified in the cooler specification is greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

Let's say you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for machine learning, programming, streaming, video editing or video rendering, then first of all you need to pay attention to the performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to reach maximum performance, the processor includes all threads and cores that it has. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to check whether the software you are going to use on your computer supports multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the advantages of multi-core mode turns out to be unnecessary.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the most useful will be the release date of the processor and the possibility of overclocking it. The later the processor is released, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. When the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in new games. Accordingly, there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The economy are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Ryzen 3 3200G is 41% better than Ryzen 5 3450U in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which AMD Ryzen 5 3450U is better: 8
The number of parameters for which AMD Ryzen 3 3200G is better: 22
Although it should be understood that all the number in the table above do not mean that taking them into account you should undividedly trust a simple comparison of these figures. Better to watch the testing video and read the reviews of real owners of AMD Ryzen 5 3450U and AMD Ryzen 3 3200G before making a selection which of the processors to buy for gaming.
